I don't know if this is an unreasonable view, but if a service is based around tiny donations, should it take 10% of it?

I read about this in a science magazine a long time ago, and If anyone knows anything about this please respond.
In silence my ears often amplify background noise to be almost shouting volume, resulting in me listening to music instead of reading. I seem to remember it being along the lines of, my brain is so used to content noise, with being in a Big Band and attending a male only school, that if I get worked up my brain jacks up the static in my ear drums to annoy me.

If someone speaks to me it sounds as though they are shouting. So, yeah, happy days.

The majority of reddit users aren't into intelligent discussions. Everyone tries to deny it, but its true.
